Question

which of the following biomolecules typically contains both nitrogen and phosphate?
A- lipid
B- protein
C- Nucleic acid
D- carbohydrate

Answer 1

 Nucleic acids as the nitrogen is part of the nitrogen base and the phosphorous is part of the phosphate group.

Answer 2

Biomolecules that typically contain both nitrogen and phosphate - C. Nucleic acids.

Nucleic acids are biomolecules made up of the monomers called nucleotides, Nucleic acids store, transmit, and express hereditary information. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

All the genetic information is coded in the sequences of nucleotides. Nucleotide has the following components:

• Sugar (ribose or deoxyribose sugars) - pentose sugars are present in them.
• Phosphate - with sugar, phosphate makes the backbone and framework of the nucleic acids.
• nitrogen base - there are four nitrogen bases two purines; adenine and guanine and two pyrimidines; Thymine (uracil in RNA) and cytosine.

Thus, Biomolecules typically contain both nitrogen and phosphate - C. Nucleic acids.
